You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

The night was dark, and the mist churned, like countless twisted phantoms whispering in the darkness.

Hua Lu slowly raised her head, her face pale, her lips an unnatural bluish-white from blood loss. Her body was swaying uncontrollably, and even her breathing had become ragged.

But she still persisted, using the last of her strength to look up at Wang Lina in front of her.

Her voice was weak, but it carried an unspeakable tenderness.

“…Wang Lina.”

Wang Lina's figure stood in the mist, her crimson pupils flickering with unstable light, her expression like pain, yet also like ecstasy.

Hua Lu’s breathing became more and more rapid, and each time she spoke, the wound in her chest would throb violently. But even so, her eyes still held a trace of pity.

No… not just pity, but also deep sorrow.

“I’m really… very sorry.”

She said softly, her voice almost lost in the wind, barely audible.

Wang Lina's expression faltered slightly.

“Your contamination…”

Hua Lu's fingers trembled slightly, as if wanting to reach out, but then fell weakly.

“Even I cannot purify it…”

The moment these words fell, the air suddenly froze.

Tang Yin's consciousness was already blurred, and he didn't understand the meaning of these words.

But—the wolf understood.

Wang Lina's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body swayed slightly uncontrollably, as if some force had struck the deepest corner of her heart.

Then, she laughed.

“Ah ha ha ha ha ha——”

Her laughter was shrill and mad, as if mocking, yet also as if mocking herself.

“I knew it.”

Her eyes became empty, but the corners of her mouth stretched higher and higher, and her entire aura completely collapsed.

“I’m going to kill you! Where are you? Get out here——Ahhhhh!!”

Her roar echoed through the mountains and forests, the mist churning violently, as if the entire space was resonating.

In the next second, her figure disappeared into the mist.

Everything returned to silence.

Hua Lu's body finally couldn't hold on any longer, and she knelt heavily on the ground, blood trickling down the corner of her mouth.

Her vision blurred, and her consciousness was rapidly dissipating, but she still struggled to raise her head, and murmured softly in a gentle voice—

“Ah… I’m sorry, Mr. Tang Yin…”

Her voice was so light that it seemed to drift away with the wind.

Her eyes were filled with deep self-blame and guilt.

“Neither Wang Lina, nor anyone else, I couldn’t protect them…”

Tang Yin's consciousness was already on the verge of collapse, and his body had completely lost sensation.

But in the final moment, he used all his strength to fall towards her.

His hand slowly reached out and grasped Hua Lu's cold fingers.

“Next time…”

His voice was weak, almost inaudible.

The corner of Hua Lu's mouth trembled slightly, and a soft light appeared in her eyes.

“I will convey my feelings.”

[Second Week Complete, To Be Continued]

……

The screen froze on the game's final ending, and a small line of white text appeared on the black screen—

The live broadcast screen gradually darkened, freezing on the final ending screen of **“The Mystery of Mist Hidden Village” Second Week Complete**.

Black screen. White text. Silence.

G-chan took off her headphones, leaned back in her gaming chair, and stared blankly at the screen, her golden pigtails swaying gently with her movements. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just let out a long breath.

“…Hiss.”

She rubbed her face, as if trying to forcibly pull herself out of the game's immersion.

“This game… is really… too awesome.”

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were still on the screen, as if she hadn't completely recovered from the emotional storm just now.

But she didn't pause for too long. Soon, her fingers began to type frantically on the keyboard, writing down her shocking long review word by word on social media.

—[G-chan]

“《The Mystery of Mist Hidden Village》 Second Week Completed! I feel like I'm about to fall apart!”

“First of all, the plot is amazing! It doesn't follow the conventional routine at all. The amount of information in the second week is directly doubled, and many details from the first week make my back feel cold when I think about them!”

“Wang Lina… is she a monster, or a victim? Her madness, her obsession, her struggle, every detail makes my heart race!”

“Hua Lu's ending really broke my defense. Her last sentence, 'Next time, I will convey my feelings,' really made me cry in front of the screen!”

“Tang Yin's characterization is simply god-level! His growth line is extremely realistic, from the initial struggle to the later awakening, every step makes people's hearts ache!”

“The NPC's AI design is also too awesome, right? Wang Lina's action mode is not like a traditional horror game monster at all, but more like a real 'hunter'. Every time she appears, she accurately hits the player's psychological defenses!”

“The atmosphere creation is directly god-tier! BGM, sound effects, scenes, narration, nothing is superfluous, every frame is strengthening the sense of horror and suspense!”

“The foreshadowing recovery is simply textbook-level! Details that were previously thought to be meaningless are all dark lines when you get to the second week. The plot is seamless, and high-IQ players are ecstatic!”

“What shocked me the most is—this game doesn't provide players with a 'real safe zone' at all! Even when the plot is progressing, danger can strike at any time. This design is too ruthless!”

“Peach Blossom Village is really awesome! I'm willing to call this a 'masterpiece' because domestic horror games can achieve this level of immersion!”

“If there are no DLCs or a third week, I'm really going to go crazy!”

“Please, let me experience this ultimate story impact one more time——”

“Hua Lu's ending… I really couldn't hold it in. G-chan, did you cry too!”

“Tang Yin's growth line is really too strong, especially the psychological descriptions in the second week. The immersion is explosive!”

“The BGM is really top-notch! Especially the final battle part, it really made my heart race!”

“The foreshadowing is recovered so tightly. The amount of information supplemented in the second week made me directly doubt my life!”

“I hope Peach Blossom Village can release a DLC! I'm willing to pay! Willing to buy a season pass! Willing to crowdfund!”

“G-chan, when will the third week start? I'm really going to go crazy if this game doesn't give me a third week!”

“Please, Peach Blossom Village, it's a crime if this game doesn't have a sequel!”

G-chan looked at the comments on the screen that were refreshing quickly and couldn't help but laugh.

She put her hands together and made a bowing motion towards the camera, her tone serious beyond words.

“Peach Blossom Village, really, awesome.”
